Schematic diagram sketching the fabrication procedures of a SCN device and the electrophysiological monitoring of a single HeLa cell using the device. (a) Preparation of a clean microscope slide. (b) Assembling of aligned ssCNTs on the clean slide. (c) Construction of the source, drain, and floating electrodes on the CNT network. (d) Passivation of the source and drain electrodes by an Al2O3 layer. (e) Loading and monitoring of a HeLa cell on the SCN device. The drawing is not to scale.
